Reprogrammability and Scalability of Magnonic Fibonacci Quasicrystals

Magnonic quasicrystals can be used to manipulate spin waves, offering possibilities beyond those of periodic magnonic crystals. The authors investigate one-dimensional magnonic Fibonacci quasicrystals and demonstrate the existence of collective spin waves over a broad range of wave vectors. The spin-wave spectra here are tunable by changing magnetic field amplitude (for continuous band-structure adjustment), magnetization configuration (for reprogrammability), or the dimensions of the elements (for scalability). Beyond being fundamentally interesting, these properties show that magnonic quasicrystals are promising for tomorrow's spintronic, microwave, and magnonic technologies.
